Laser blues...are they that bad??

[cramp]

Bought a new 50003 ps2, in june,then i drooped the damn thing!! about 3 foot onto a wooden floor......anyway it still worked fine, so then i got it chipped with a riiper2gold, all worked fine 6 or 8 weeks, the kid put a quite dirty cdr music disc in to it, and teh ps2 wasnt playing the disc , it was kinda sticking, then the next day only some games would load, then the next day the dreaded clicking noise, then ....nothing...... brought it around to my chip installer, and he informed that the laser was dead!! he took some reading from teh laser, and teh readings seemed fine, i had also taken around another ps2 (new) to be chipped, he took the laser out of this and put it into mine, and everything worked fine! All this was done while i was there..........anyway i have ordered a new 400c lens, but waht do u guys think was the CAUS OF DEATH to this laser....the drop/dirty cd/crappy v9 laser..............
